Gaga's Fragrance Will Reportedly Smell Like "Blood and Semen"

You can't make this stuff up.
According to sources in the fragrance industry hired to develop Lady Gaga's first fragrance, the pop star has requested that the scent "smell of blood and semen."
The idea is mildly shocking, but Gaga is not the first person to think of it.

We broke the news last month that Lady Gaga's first fragrance would smell like blood and semen. (We also pointed out she's not the first to use semen as inspiration for a fragrance.)
Now Lady Gaga has confirmed our report, telling Australian radio hosts Kyle and Jackie O, "I wanted to extract the feeling and the scent of blood and semen from molecular structures, so that's where that [report] came from." Molecular structures? Sound confusing? Gaga explained: "[Blood and semen] is in the perfume but it doesn't smell like that--you just get the after feeling of sex from the semen and the blood is primal."
And when Lady Gaga says "primal" she means it. The "blood" part of her fragrance is actually derived from her own blood. "It was taken out of my own blood sample so it's a sense of having me on your skin." It seems like an audacious presumption but after seeing the dedication of Gaga's little monsters at her show at MSG Tuesday night, we're sure fans will be scrambling to spritz themselves in Sang de Gaga.
When asked what Gaga thought the fragrance smelled like overall she replied, "the perfume smells like an expensive hooker." Of course it does.

In case you didn't get enough of Lady Gaga over the last few days with all the coverage of her enormous three dimensional Paco Rabanne outfits at the MTV Europe Music Awards, don't despair. There's lots more Lady Gaga news today.
First up, that fragrance of hers. You know--the one that supposedly will smell like "blood and semen"? Well, it reportedly has a name now, though WWD couldn't confirm it with Coty Beauty, who's producing the scent.

We've all heard that Lady Gaga might perform at tomorrow's Mugler show, where her stylist Nicola Formichetti is creative director. But a reliable industry source tells us that she'll definitely be walking the runway. "Unless she throws a diva fit, she's walking," says the source.
Update: Gaga confirms it, via Twitter.
Watch the show on Facebook at 3pm EST, 9pm Paris time. (We'll also be tweeting from the audience.)

While everyone was out at parties last night, I was sitting on my couch scrolling through Twitter and watching the VMAs--appropriately, I suppose--when WWD tweeted this late-breaking news flash.
Lady Gaga, in a deal that was completed last week, has finally signed a long-term licensing agreement with Coty to create fragrances under her name. The first one will launch in Spring 2012.
Good gravy. What will this smell like? I actually hope it smells weird and funky. And the bottles better be spectacular. I often forget to wear a scent (and I have quite a collection), but I love how they look all lined up on the counter.
What do you think the top notes will be? Hairspray? Rubber?
